woot-OILING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 261,452, dated July 18,1882.

Application tiled April 17, 1882. (N o model.)

To all whom tt may concern:

Be it known that LEDWARD M. HEWsoN. of Stillwater, in the county ofSaratoga and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Wool-Oiling Machines; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings,which form a part of this specication, and in which- Figure 1 is a planView of my improved oiler for cotton or wool stock, and Fig. 2 is a sideelevation of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both thegures.

This invention relates to an improvement in oiling devices or atomizersfor wool stock, its` 'object being to spray the oil upon the wool as itis being fed to the lapper or carding-machine; and it consists in thenovel construction and combination of parts of the oiling apparatus ordevice, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

-In carrying out my invention I employ a standard, A, which is designedto be attached to the frame of the feed-apron of a lapper orcarding-machine, and has a right-angled arm,

B, pivoted thereto at O, and extending about halt-way across the apron.At the free end of the arm B is an upright sleeve, D, through and uponwhich is passed and hung a shaft, a, having a beveled pinion, E,'atitsupper end and the disk or wheel F at its lower end.

G is a T-shaped upright, capable of vertical adjustment by means of' aslot, b, and setscrew b upon the standard-arm B, and supporting ahorizontal shaft, c, having the pinion H at one end, engaging with thepinion E of the shaft a, and the band-pulley I at the other end, aroundWhich'passes acrossed belt or band, K, passed around a second pulley, L,upon a driving-shaft.

M is a tank for holding the oil, supported upon the standard-arm B. Thetank has a faucet, m, to which is connected a pipe, N, delivering theoil upon the disk or wheel F when the faucet is open. Y

The operation is as follows: Motion being 5o imparted through belt,pulleys, and shaft to the shalt c, the pinions E H thus set in motionwill operate the disk or wheel F, causing it to rapidly revolve. In themeantime, the

`oil being fed through the pipe N from the tank M upon the disk or wheelF, the centrifugal action of the latter will spray or sprinkle the oilupon the wool being fed to the lapper or carding-machine, the beneficialeffect of which upon wool stock is well known. The spray- 6o ingoperation can be regulated by varying the speed ofthe disk or wheel F orby turning the cock of the faucet mj to more'or less open or close it.

I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patentofthe United Statesl. Thecombination, with the disk or wheel F and mechanism for imparting to ita revolving motion, ot' the tank M, having a pipe, N, adapted todischarge its contents upon the 7o disk or wheel, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth. t

2. The combination, with the shaft a, hav-b ing the disk or wheel F atone end andthe pinion E at the other end, the shaft c, having the pinionH and the pulley I, and the driving mechanism, of the tank M, having afaucet, m, and pipe N, leading to the disk F, substantially as and forthe purpose set forth.

In testimony that 1 claim the foregoing as 8o my own I have hereuntoaffixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EDWARD M. HEWSON.
